Galerie Lulla is pleased to announce the opening of Secrets of the Lawn, organized by ZZArt Concept. Curated by Zoe ZHANG Bing.

Secrets of the Lawn features works by artist couple Angelica Lorenzi and Hans Wendel. Their work addresses the small fantastical worlds and creatures hidden right in the garden/lawn (Lorenzi) as well as questions of suburban life and emotions of alienation (Wendel).

“The lawn, as blank as it seems, generates its own folklore.”

ANGELICA LORENZI
For the past four years, Angelica Lorenzi has delved into the intersection of function and form. Her sculptures are characterized by intricate decoration, undulating glazes, and tactile textures that often replicate surfaces found in nature. Her work infuses narrative and composition with whimsy, drawing inspiration from various references from Italian and American culture. From the natural world of plants, flowers, and mythical creatures to contemporary imagery of urban life and pop culture, Angelica combines this aesthetics to create works that subvert everyday perceptions of domestic space. Her work embodies multiple identities, manifesting as household objects, rituals and worlds that hover between the magical and the real. By using traditional materials such as ceramics to create unconventional forms, she seeks to dismantle traditional notions of structural and functional objects.

HANS WENDEL
Han's work, which he calls "Bro-Coco," is an aesthetic project that he has developed to explore the unexpected yet seamless fusion of middle-class masculinity with various periods of established high art. Through this body of work, he merges familiar symbols from contemporary bro culture—motorcycles, energy drinks, and suburban front lawns—with the painting styles, materials, and subject matter of historical art periods. The juxtaposition of these elements serves as a commentary on contemporary consumerism, the intersection of high and low culture, and the quest for self-identity in an ever-evolving world.

At its core, Bro-Coco is concerned with these unlikely pairings of mediums, styles, and contemporary subject matter. The more convincingly these elements are integrated, the more quixotic the result. By attempting to create a subtle, stable, and convincing union of high and low culture, Han’s work challenges the viewer's preconceived notions. When formerly disparate elements suddenly seem as if they were always meant to coexist, the work invites us to reconsider what we think we know about ourselves and our history.

Press Release
Request Catalogue

Galerie Lulla is pleased to present "Sandstorm," a group exhibition featuring works on paper of Harold Ancart, Piero Golia, Settai Komura, Calvin Marcus, Toru Otani, Daichiro Shinko, Ikko Tanaka, and Tadanori Yokoo.

This exhibition juxtaposes traditional ukiyo-e prints with contemporary Japanese-style prints, exploring the dynamic interplay of Japanese and Western cultural influences.

The exhibition's title, "Sandstorm," is inspired by Haruki Murakami's novel Kafka on the Shore. Murakami masterfully blends elements of Japanese and Western culture, referencing figures as diverse as Radiohead, Beethoven, tanka poets, and mystical Japanese folklore. Similarly, the artists in "Sandstorm" weave together their own influences from both traditions through mediums such as traditional woodcut printing, executed in collaboration with a three-generation woodcut printmaker. The ukiyo-e prints serve as a commentary on their time, reflecting the changing tides of culture and society.

Kate Ahn

Solo Exhibition

"OH NO I'M N★KED!" explores desire and sexuality through explicit self-portraiture of elastic range. By modifying and exaggerating her own figure, Ahn exposes the absurdity and instability of perfection as a state of being that can be procured, even the idealized female form isn’t enough, and isn't safe from the arduous process of revision.

The graphic nature of the work eludes all moral quandaries, and instead the viewer is left to their own devices, forced to reckon with their own inner compass–the most private negotiation of them all. It is the task of the beholder to parse through this tension between vulgarity and beauty, to find some compromise between what we regard as sanctified and profane, to confront the female form for what it is: a vision of terror and delight, and for good reason. Pornographic images are here to make a statement: no matter how much one thinks they possess an object, the reality is that the object possesses you.

Ahn paints her nude figure as a way of reclaiming her image; both the model and the painter, the object and the subject, Ahn explores what it means to see and be seen as a woman and a commodity, if such a distinction even exists at all. Her first solo show includes a shoe collection for Yume Yume SS23 and exclusive merchandise in collaboration with Terminal™

View and Shop the exhibition at Galerie Lulla. On view from April 7th to May 8th.
